By W. F. TAYLOR,
Pork is scarce in the market. I do
net know how much the present pup -
lay might be increased without lower::
peg the price to a point where it could
not be produced with profit, but 1 think
we need not worry about any immedi-
ate decline in price. Hogs are scarce,
pigs are hard to find, feed is so high,
and the demand for pork am strong
that the temptation to sell every hog
off the farm that the buyer will take
is very great.
Breed Sows for Fall Litters.
If we are going to increase the
amount of .pork in the country two or
three things must receive attention.
First, we must)reed our sows for fall
litters. Of course, it will be too late
for early fall pigs before this advice
can possibly be read. But we may be
situated so that we can take care of
litters that come late, as I am sure
that many of us are.
It does not make so much difference
when pigs are farrowed,, if they have
proper care. They may come along
in mid -winter, providingthe sow has
A warm place, and the pigs have a
chance to exercise.
Of course, it is not desirable to have
pigs come later than October 1, though
some of the best ones 1 have ever rais-
ed
have been farrowed later than that.
After all, it is all in the care they re-
ceive, though it is easier to give them
that care ht warm weather than in the
cold of winter.
Second, we should prepare to feed
well the pigs that we keep. To plant
a larger acreage than we can cultivate,
to milk more cows than we can feed
properly, or to keep a larger number
of pigs than we have the courage to
furnish grain for, is to increase with
none of the products indicated, but
rather it has the effect to diminish the
supply. If we have twice as many
pigs on hand as we will feed liberally,
we might better sell half of them to
some who will feed them, and thus
make' sure that all of them will be
ready for market at the earliest pos-
sible date.
Feed, Hogs Liberally.-
The
iberally.The pigs we do keep should be fed
for rapid growth if we would really
increase the sum of pork products. If
we have not faith enough in the busi-
ness to feed liberally, let us sell our
pigs to someone who has. It is"' a
great mistake to let a bunch of pigs
live along, hungry as bears, growing
just a little, but evidently preferring
to die ifl;hey only could, and waiting
for the corn to get ripe so that we can
get something with which to fatten
them.
But -you say, "Hold on, do you ex-
pect us to pay the present high prices
for feed and give it to the hogs?"
Well, I am putting a sack full into the
self feeder as often as the hogs can
make room for it, and the faster they
eat, the mire I shall get for my work.
If anyone who reads this doubts that
I am right, let me ask him if heex-
pects that grain will be any:: cheaper
next fall than it is now? Think for a
moment of our present wheat short-
age. Consider the large amounts of
breadstuffs that must be sent to the
bottom of the ocean before Germanys
submarine war can be arrested. Corn
cannot possibly be cheap next year.
Pork cannot' be produced in sufficient
quantities .to more titan supply the de-•
nand at the present high prices, if,
indeed, it can be grown fast enough
to keep the amount up to the present
supply, •So I shall feed just all the
pigs will eat, from the time they come
into the world until they go to market,
Utilize Pastures for Profit.
In the third place, we can use pas-
ture in many cases economically. I
do not believe it is wise to give ,.the
hogs very much good alfalfa meadow
this summer, alfalfa is going to be
needed next Winter for cow feed. Grain
is going "to be very high. People
everywhere are thinking about beans
and potatoes, and while I do not think
they are going to overdo either, still it
looks as though corn will be in great
demand. But lands not otherwise oc-
cupied can be pastured by the hogs,
and rape can be sown here and there,
and now and then a man who is short
of help may use the hogs to advantage
in harvesting his corn. But in a
general way, it seems to me that our
good meadows, either clover, or alfalfa,
should be cut and the hay should be
properly cured and stored for winter
use, except so much as is needed to
supplement the pastures, or to feed,
etre
farm.
for other reasons, o
In purchasing feeds for the hogs, we
should watch for by-products more
sharply than before. Products from
the breakfast food factories, salvage
grains, middlings, and in fact anything
that the bogs like, that we can afford
to buy.
Use the Self -feeder for Best Results.
In the fourth place, I would feed the
hogs from a hopper feeder. It taklgs
but very little tinte'to make one, and
that will be saved many times over,
in feeding before the summer closes,
and the feeder will still be as good as
new. Every experiment I have seen
proves that hogs will malae more rapid,
and more economical gains when fed in
this way, than when a men attempts
to say to the hog, just how much is
good for him, and how often he shall
eat.
Lastly, I would not sell the hogs un-
til they had attained teagood weight,
unless the market looked bad. Every
time a small hog is marketed, a chance
to increase the supply of food is cut
off.
If we feed too slowly, then this
would not be good advice, for the hog
would be too old to grow economically
before he attained the proper size. It
should always be remembered that it
costs much more to put weight onto an
old hog than a young one.
So ow in closing, if we would in-
crease the sum of pork in the country,
or even if we would maintain the pros-
ent.supply, we must first breed all the
sows we can; econdy feed as liberally
as we can, a(third, grow our hogs to
a good size before we market them.
Thus, if we seek economical sources
of feed supply, if we watch all the lit-
tle details that make for success, if in
short,'we put a little of our better
selves into this work, we shall get our
pay in dollars, and we shall help to
feed a hungry world, and thus be good
soldiers though employing only the
weappns of peace.

Cow -peas are relished by poultry,
and should be added to the diet at
least twice a week. Squash or pump-
kins, cooked and mixed in the mash,
are good for growth, production and

Common field peas are egg food.
Peas contain a large amount of nitro-

The trouble with so many farm hens
is that they do not get enough grain
during the summer months to make
them produce a profitable number of
eggs to pay for their keep.
Molting season is near at hand.
This means a decrease in the egg crop.
It is .necessary at that time to have

Conserve The Fruit Crop
Last summer, many women did not
put up their regular supply of home-
made preserves; and bitterly they re-
gretted it. They became scared at
what they called the high price of su-
gar. When sugar reached 74 cents a
pound, they let the strawberries and
cherries, go by. When sugar sold at
8 cents and 81 cents, they permitted
the luscious peaches, pears, plums and
apples to rot on the ground.
But never again. This summer
will see a genuine, old time revival in
homemade preserving; because the
women of Canada now realize what a
foolish extravagance it was to do with-
out preserves; especially when the in-
creased cost of putting them up is in-
finitesimal.
As a matter of fact, every woman
can prove, with her first lot of straw-
berries, that the increased cost ofsu-
gar is surprisingly small.
Turning back the files of papers
publishing market prices, we find that
in 1912, 1913 and 1914, up to the out-
break of war, the average price of
granulated sugar was 51/4 cents a
pound. To -day, the best granulated
sugar retails at'81/4 cents. This is an
average of'3 cents a pound for the
whole of the country.
A quart jar of preserved berries or
fruit, requires but half a !pound of
sugar; so that the increased cost of
preserving, due to the increased cost
of sugar, is only 11 cents a quart,
compared with the cost of preserving
before the war when sugar was un-
usually cheap.
Now -is the time for the women of
Canada to come gallantly to the -aid
of the country, and help to conserve
our food supplies. The fruit crop this
year promises to be a record one, both
in quality and quantity. Foreign
markets being closed because of the
shortage in transportation, it rests al-
most entirely with our homemakers as
to whether this crop worth millions is
to be a source of profit or a complete
Loss.
With the home pantries filled with
delicious jams, preserves and jellies;
with these delicacies served for dessert
instead of pies and cakes; enormous
quantities of wheat will be released
for the troops in France and for the
starving children in Belgium.
A careful consideration of the above
facts will show to the Canadian house-
wife that sugar is not too high for
preserving profitably; that the increas-
ed cost of sugar has not materially;
increased the cost of homemade pre-
serves; and that preserving is both an
economy and a patriotic action.

loaded with a full 600 bags of fertii'-

If farmers will give their orders
early enough, it will allow agents to
make up full cars. This will auto-
matically cut down by a half the num-
ber of freight cars needed to move the
fall tonnage. Since fertilizers are
classed as preferred freight, it means
freeing for other uses one half of the
cars normally used for shipping fall
fertilizers -and helping conditions by
just that much.
Full cars 'cannot be ordored out un-

Grateful: -1. It is always the
privilege of a bride to wear white with
a wedding veil no matter how simple
the ceremony or how early the hour,
so you have your choice of white or a
pretty silk going -away gown, Such
things must really be decided by what
best suits your own plans. 2. The
bride provides the household Iinen and
you would require six sheets, six pil-
low -cases, three spreads, three table-
cloths, one dozen napkins, one dozen
lunch napkins, several centrepieces,
two sets of six doilies, also kitchen
towels and pantry towels, six each;
three dishcloths, one or two pairs of
blankets and a table pad. I do not
think you could manage well with less.
8. A letter of appreciation should be
written to one's hostess after return-
ing from a visit.
Anxious: -1. To remove spots on
broadcloth try the following: Grind
one and one-half ounces of pipe clay
fine, mix with eighteen drops of alco-
hol and the same quantity of spirits of
turpentine. Moisten a little of the
t1ifixture with more alcohol and rub on
stains. When dry remove with
a woollen cloth. 2. Small swabs of
antiseptic absorbent cotton should
be
used to wail an infant's s eyes. 8.
The covers can be kept on a small
child 'at night by the use of garter
fastenings; one end should be fastened
to the side of the crib and the other
end clasped to the corner of the covers.
In this way they can be kept firmly
on, yet the rubber allows the child
freedom enough to turn. 4. Cotton
stockings are better for children's
wear than lisle.
P. H.:-1. Thebest remedy I know
for black ants is to fill a saucer with
sweetened water, add one teaspoon of
tartar emetic and set it where the
ants come. 2. For filling cracks in
floors, make a thick paste of linseed
oil and wheat flour. Use after first
coat of paint and before the second
has been twilled.
Student: -1. The phrase "wearing
the white flower of a blameless life" is
in the "Dedication" to Tennyson's
"Idylls of the King" and occurs in a
tribute to the memory of the Prince
Consort. 2. The two great rivers
of Mesopotamia are the Tigris and the
Euphrates. 8. The original meaning
of "chiffon" is rags.

hocks are affected with rust, a corn -
mon disease. The remedy is to spray
with Bordeau mixture. To 4 quarts
of water add 14 tablespoonfuls of
quicklime and 1 tablespoonful of cop-
per sulphate. Mix well.
Perplexed: -1. A reply to an invita-
tion to a home wedding, explaining
why youcannot attend, is sent to those
who issue it, in this case.the parents of
the bride, and the envelope should be
addressed to them. The gift, with
your card, is sent to the bride. 2. A
shower is given by an intimate friend
of the bride -elect and may be given
any time within a few weeks before
the ceremony, and it is good form to
ask only those who are very close
friends of the engaged girl, as to go
outside and ask just acquaintances
s
J
savors too much of asking for gifts.
Puzzled: -1. Do not pay any atten-
tion to remarks like these. No human
judgment can possibly be perfectly
just. If we do what we consider
right according to our best knowledge
we can safely leave the result to a
Higher Power. 2. It is not worth
worrying about. If you think you
would have a good time at the picnic,
go by all means.
Housewife: -1. To make mint bags
for the linen closet put into little silk
bags a mixture made of a pound of
dried lavender, an ounce of thyme, an
ounce of mint, an ounce of ground
cloves and caraway seeds and a table-
spoonful of dry salt. 2. Food scientists
tell us that corn meal is not "heating"
and can therefore be used in summer.
It is a duty at the present time to
use more corn and save the wheat for
our Allies over the seas.

The First Embroidery Class in the
World.
The first embroidery class in the
world was held one early, early morn-
ing thousands, oh! thousands of years
ago, under a huge mullein leaf! Way
before sun -up the members began to
arrive.
They tied their butterflies to the
clover posts and fluttered down excit-
edly. upon the moss -green carpet.
Fairies! of course, they were fairies!
And who do you suppose taught them
to embroider? Why, Grandmother
Spider!
She brought out the wonderful web
that she had spun and with the fairies
fluttering and flying about her she
showed them the first stitches in em-
broidery. She didn't use silk, though;
she used skeins of mist, and when they
had been worked in and out and over
and over they made the shining dew
drops like the ones you have often
seen trembling on the grass blades in
the early morning.
The fairies clapped their hands and
danced with excitement and begged
her to let them work some. But the
old spider shook her head and sent
them off to gather some tiny green
leaves. Pretty soon every fairy head
lTHE EIERNA. `DON'T"
"Don't shuffle your feet, Tom; you'll
wear your boots out!'' "Tom, don't
wriggle along that seat; you get ort
my nerves'" "Don't talk so muehj
I'm wrltingl" "Don't sit there look -
{ng so sulky, or I'll whip you'"
It may .hardly be believed, bub I
heard the foregoing remarks made td
a small boy within .one brief half-hour,
I couldn't help thinking what a hate.,
fur word "don't" was, nor wondering
if the child knew what he might be
permitted to "do,"
The folly of the repetition of this
word "don't" lies In the fact that chil-
dren begin after a while to regard it
as meaningless. Familiarity breeds
contempt, and the significance is lost,
It would jie Inc wiser to employ coun-
ter -suggestions If we could only train
ourselves to think quickly enough. It
would epare children many tears, and.
the grown folks much irritation. "Do"
is a much pleasanter word, and short-
er into the bargain.
"Don't touch the tea -table, Doris!
Mother's expecting friends!" said a
lady to her little girl. And then £o1-
lowed: "Don't play with your bricks
in here; it will untidy the room!" And,
later: '!Don't kick up that rug! Some-
one will trip over it!"
Now these don'ts might have gone
on until the visitors had arrived, but
for the child's big sister, who was in
the far corner of the room and had
overheard her mother's injunctions.
"Come over here, Dorisl There are
some nice pictures for you to see!"
she called.
And the little one ran withlee, and
g
was quickly amused until nurse came
to take her to bed.
Every time a parent says "don't"
to a child, and fails to enforce obedi-
ence to the order, she not., only weak-
ens her influence with the little one,
but she is setting rebellious seeds,
which may prove troublesome' in the
future.
One mother thought she was doing
a very clever thing by having a num-
ber of rules, called "Don'ts," written
up in her home. These rules, how-
ever, were more honored in the breach
than the observance, except when she
happened to,,be specially irritable or
worried.' Then the unfortunate child
who was caught breaing one of these
"Don'ts" was severely punished. The
victim and all the other children saw
the injustice of the punishment, and
children always resent injustice.
A Sunday -school teacher was once
trying to impress upon her class the
importance of keeping the Command-
ments, and she said:
"God always punishes children who
do what He tells them not to dol"
One bright little boy chimed in:
"Not always, teacher! I guess He's
like mother sometimes -too busy to
know whether we break them or not!"
A hyper -sensitive child went to stay
a few months with her maiden aunt
while her parents were absent. The
old lady was not used to children. She
made good use of the word "don't."
Then the child was taken ill, and in
her feverish ravings she cried again
and again:
"Don't say 'don't, . auntie! I promise
you I won't!"
Rgther a mixed sentence; but the
woman who was taken from her kit-
chen -work to nurse the child under-
stood what the trouble was, and when
she got better tried to keep the child
more with her.
One day she found her pulling the
wall -paper off; but instead of telling
her not to doit, she said:
"Oh, Miss Cissie, you wouldn't be-
lieve what a lot of trouble it is to put
wall -paper on! Just you come along
with me this afternoon, and see the
men how hard they have to work!"
Then she took her to see a friend
who had the "decorators" 'in, and
Cissie volunteered that she would
never again pull off a piece of paper.
Training children in this way may
s prove somewhat troublesome, and we
aIknow that every mother has not the
time to spare;; but the plan might be
adopted in a number of our homes.

was bent over a leaf and the fairy
needles were flying,merrily.
Next time you see a leaf with these
delicate tracings upon it you'll know
that some little fairy has been at work
-perhaps, if you look very closely
you will see her needle sticking in it..
I hope so, for fairy needles are golden
and very precious, I can tell you! Well,
the fairies were so delighted with em-
broidery that they came again and
again to Grandmother Spider's class
and she grew very fat and rich, I am
told.
And the fairies why, the fairies
set about embroidering everything in
the world. The leaves and flowers,
their silken coverlets, the great robe
of the sea. Have you never seen the
frost pictures on the window -panes in
winter ? Well, that is fairy embroid-
ery!.
Yes, the fairies learned to embroid-
er from old Mother Spider and then
the kind little creatures showed• the.
human folk the secret of it. They
taught them to copy the flowers from
the gardenn upon their centerpieces and
doilies and upon their dark frocks, so
that the glad out-of-door things
could be found indoors, too.
Wherever mortals are embroidering
and especially where little girls are,
there are always fairies! They hover
'about overhead, perch upon the
' needles and scissors and sometime
they steal the thimbles away to us
for honey pails.
